Nuclear power: Sustainable? Solution?
Obviously you can find information that supports either side of an argument.
But the idea that nuclear power is clean, green, safe or sustainable doesn't quite sit right with me.
Granted, we've got it. It's a developed technology, and that's compelling. We've also decreased the risks.
Still, uranium isn't a renewable source. We may have about 30-60 years' worth left. Plus, nuclear power isn't risk free. The stakes, if something does go wrong, are very high -- witness the worry about the off-line nuclear power plant near California wildfires this week. Threats to security also includes the potential for nuclear power to be catapulted into weaponry of the sort no one should possess -- again, witness the fear stirred by imagining it in the "wrong" hands (i.e. Iran). And of course most basic is this: we don't know how to dispose of nuclear waste.
So, is nuclear power a greener solution? Not really.
